Gemstone

Story

Cannetille work is akin to using fine gold wire threads to create lace-like embroidery. Tendrils, scrolls and beehive coil rosettes ornament splendid Georgian period quality workmanship surrounding large faceted teardrop amethysts. Amazing repoussé work featuring floral and scroll forms with a three dimensional quality combine with the delicate 15k yellow gold cannetille filigree for an impressive and smashing pair of earrings relatively light in weight on the ear.

Note: Stones have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. Gemstone weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.
